The moment the final command was executed, the hydrogen deep within the Divine Fixed Star's core began to fuse at an insane, accelerated rate. What had once been a stable stellar god slipped beyond control. Heat rose violently, pressure spiraled, and the vast celestial body swelled outward, its gentle yellow glow darkening into a furious crimson.
For a brief, terrifying instant, the god still existed.
Then the hydrogen was exhausted.
With thermal pressure no longer able to balance its own gravity, the helium core collapsed inward. In a catastrophic flash powerful enough to tear divinity itself apart, helium fused into a dense carbon-oxygen core. A violent helium flash erupted, ripping through the star-god's inner sanctum and hurling hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon compounds into the void.
A thin, ring-shaped planetary nebula formed, glowing faintly like a funeral wreath around the dying god.
At that moment, the divine entity was already dead.
No fusion followed. No miracle occurred.
The once-blazing surface dimmed into pale white. Heat drained away. Light faltered, then vanished. Energy radiation ceased completely.
And just like that—
A Divine Fixed Star died in silence.
Across the Marvel world, screens froze on that final image. Countless people stared, mouths open, eyes wide, watching a god perish as naturally and mercilessly as any star.
For several heartbeats, the universe itself seemed to hold its breath.
Then the live broadcast exploded.
> "Oh my god—a Divine Fixed Star was killed just like that?!"
"This is worse than an execution. This is erasure!"
"If even gods can fall so easily… what hope do lesser civilizations have?"
"Thank everything—this fleet hunts gods, not worlds…"
The shock rippled outward, louder with every passing second.

Inside S.H.I.E.L.D.
No one spoke.
Agents who had faced invasions, alien armadas, and cosmic tyrants stood frozen, unable to process what they had just witnessed. The first Divine Fixed Star had died too quickly—too casually—for fear to take hold.
But the second kill was different.
They had watched it struggle.
They saw the second Divine Fixed Star attempt to flee, its gravitational body twisting like a trapped insect. When escape proved impossible, it endured a full, methodical barrage from the God-Hunting Fleet.
There was no mercy. No resistance.
Only inevitability.
Several agents swore they could hear it—a silent, cosmic howl—echoing through the void as the god drifted toward annihilation.
The scream lingered long after the screen went dark.
Natasha Romanoff finally exhaled, her voice low and strained.
"Fortunately… their targets are gods. Otherwise…"
She didn't finish.
Everyone understood.
Nick Fury straightened, forcing control into his voice.
"I don't care how. I don't care why," he said grimly. "I want to know who commands a fleet that can casually execute gods."
That question haunted every mind in the room.

At Kamar-Taj
When the second Divine Fixed Star vanished, the Ancient One inhaled sharply.
"This power…" the words barely left her lips. "It defies all precedent."
She had believed the fleet hunted entities comparable to minor anomalies—dangerous, yes, but limited. That belief shattered instantly.
Two Divine Fixed Stars. Eliminated.
No spell. No ritual. No sacrifice.
Only overwhelming force.

Beyond Reality — The Watcher's Fear
In the depths of the Observer Dimension, Uatu stared at the collapsing light of two extinguished gods.
And for the first time in eons—
Fear surfaced in his eyes.
This was not abstract dread, nor the distant terror inspired by cosmic horrors like Yaldabaoth. This was the fear of absolute power, the kind that crushed all observers equally.
Uatu understood a horrifying truth:
If that fleet turned its weapons on him, there would be no survival.
The battle concluded effortlessly.
The footage accelerated.
A young main-sequence star aged billions of years in moments, leaving behind only altered gravity as proof it had ever existed.
The fleet advanced.
Passing the Kuiper Belt, maintaining an ironclad gravitational field, the God-Hunting Fleet entered planetary orbit.
Forty astronomical units ahead, the supreme Earth God—the Invincible Sun—rotated in solemn silence, its photosphere bathing the blue-white third planet in light.
Earth.
The entire Marvel world held its breath.
Though the fleet had promised to protect Earth's carbon-based life, no one trusted such assurances anymore.
After all—
When titans clash, ants are crushed by accident.

The Past Revealed — The Fall of the First Empire
The scene changed.
The stars vanished.
Smoke filled the screen.
This was Earth—but not the modern world.
This was the First Empire.
Burning walls. Shattered streets. A ruined royal court.
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D., shock deepened.
"So… this is the First Empire?" Natasha whispered, pale. "It really fell here."
Nick Fury frowned.
"If the fleet didn't cause this… then what did?"
His mind landed on a single word.
The Merchants.
The camera followed a lone figure into the burning palace. Snake-warrior kings lay dead, armor fused red from heat, bodies crackling softly. The stench of scorched divinity filled the air.
On the dragon throne sat another figure—robes torn, scales charred.
The last king of the First Empire.
The intruder smiled calmly.
"Long time no see," he said softly. "Jareth."
He continued, mocking,
"The Ebony Blade you forged after learning forbidden star-craft caused damage, yes. But it was never enough."
In Stark Tower, Tony leaned forward in disbelief.
"That man… he destroyed the First Empire himself?"
Colonel Rhodes narrowed his eyes.
"He worships the Solar Harbinger."
The king hissed weakly, forked tongue flickering.
"If the Snake Father had not shattered himself to imprison the Dragon Mother within the Primordial Prison, would your schemes have succeeded?"
The Marvel world erupted.
A supreme god had broken himself to imprison another.
Even Fury trembled.
"So it's true… gods of that tier don't fall easily."
At Kamar-Taj, the Ancient One closed her eyes.
"If such beings walked freely today," she whispered, "humanity would not survive."
The intruder placed his hand on Jareth's head.
Blue-green divine fire erupted, engulfing the king.
"Without the guardians," he declared, "the First Empire was doomed. Others will follow."
Jareth laughed weakly.
"The heavens warned me," he rasped. "And when the Empire falls—so will the Solar Harbinger."
With that, the last king died, his body turning to ash.
Silence followed.
Across the Marvel universe, people mourned a civilization erased by gods.
Then—
The intruder looked up.
In the sky, only a few giant suns remained.
One transformed into a golden, three-legged bird and fled—
Only to be pierced by a faster, white torrent of annihilation.
Light turned red.
Then dark.
Another god died.
The intruder understood.
History had turned its wheel once more.
